Pre-surgery fitness program for recovery after aneurysm surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised “prehabilitation” program before planned open surgery helps you recover better after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. It’s mainly about improving outcomes when you have time to prepare for at least 6 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that your team plans to treat with conventional open surgery
- Your aneurysm has been recommended for surgery based on its size (about 50–55 mm)
- Your situation is not urgent—you can plan ahead
- Your doctors can set up a pre-surgery preparation program for at least 6 weeks before surgery
- You will need pre-approval and scheduling for the preparation time plan

This trial tests whether a structured pre-surgery program (exercise and coaching) can help people prepare for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It may help reduce problems and improve recovery by strengthening the body before surgery.
This trial tests a virtual exercise program to help prepare people for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair surgery. It aims to improve recovery by having you exercise at home before your procedure.
This study tests if a structured heart rehab program helps people recover better after surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main belly artery). It aims to improve fitness and heart health.
This trial tests a fast-track recovery program for people getting a stent graft to fix a bulge or tear in the main artery in their belly. You stay in the hospital less time and go home sooner with a caregiver's help, using only local anesthesia.
This study tests two different ways to manage pain after open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It compares a standard pain control method to another approach that may reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether a structured, high-activity fitness program before elective abdominal surgery can help you prepare and recover better. It’s meant for people considered at moderate to high surgical risk who can safely do pre-op exercise.
